Garden patch

We planted our little garden on Sunday.

Three kinds of tomato, yellow pear,

Mr. Stripey (our favorite) and a

better boy red tomato. Several kinds

of peppers, red, green, jalapeno,

and hot red chili - great for stir fry.

Two zucchini plants, some mixed salad

greens, italian parsley, basil,

dill, and chives.

Later, mom, mike & debbie joined us for
dinner. On the menu:
tomato mozzarella salad
shrimp scampi from Costo, over linguini
fresh steamed green beans
and french bread.

We ate outside on the patio,
the weather was perfect!

Fried goodness

Fried Zucchini
(before....)

(after...)
and only about 5 minutes later....
I think it was a hit - very crispy
and delicious!
I used the recipe from here.
(only I did not use olive oil for frying,
I used vegetable oil)

Little gems

I picked the first of our heirloom yellow

pear tomatoes this morning. Yum!

Many more to come...

I spy...

Three little tomatoes growing...

Garden progress

Our little garden is growing nicely.

It is a beautiful morning.

It's a great day to be outside.

We planted a little garden today.

We will give it plenty of water, love

and attention - we hope it grows well.

Even Harley seems happy about it.
